$Mycteroperca bonaci, the black grouper, black rockfish or marbled rockfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a grouper from the subfamily Epinephelinae which is part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. Other fish are sometimes called the black grouper including the similar gag grouper (Mycteroperca microlepis), the misty grouper (Hyporthodus mystacinus), and the critically endangered Warsaw grouper (Epinephelus nigritus). This species is found in the western Atlantic Ocean from the northeastern United States to Brazil.\n\nIt has an evenly rounded preopercle with no incisions or lobes at its angle. The dorsal fin contains 11 spines and 15-17 soft rays while the anal fin has 3 spines and 11-13 soft rays, both fins having rounded margins. The caudal fin is truncate to emarginate, althoughit may be convex if spread widely. This species has an overall olive grey colour and is marked with dark blotches and brassy hexagonal spots over the head and flanks. The pectoral fins are sooty brown, fading to orange towards the margin; the soft rayed part of the dorsal fin and the anal fin, as well as the forward edge of the pelvic fin have a dark margin.\n\nBlack groupers are found mainly on rocky bottoms and in coral reef environments. Their depth ranges from anywhere from 19 to 108 feet (6 to 33 meters). Juvenile black groupers are also found in seagrass beds off of the coast of Florida.\n\nBlack groupers are predators and feed on a variety of fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. They are an important part of the marine ecosystem and are a popular game fish. However, they are also overfished and are listed as a near threatened species by the IUCN.$

$Foursaddle Grouper Epinephelus spilotoceps occurs in the tropical Indo-West-Pacific from East coast of Africa to the Line Islands. Except for its occurrence along the African coast (Zanzibar, Tanzania to Ponta Zavora, Mozambique) it seems to be primarily an insular species, occurring at most (probably all) of the islands of tropical Indian and west-central Pacific in a depth range from 0 to 30m, max. length 47cm. \n\nUsually species have a more ore less specific behaviour. Groupers are shy and have a long escape distance. This specimen was unusually curious and followed the photographer attentively for quite a while.\n\nTriton Bay, Indonesia \n3°54'2.346 S 134°6'32.099 E at 12m depth$

$Barramundi Cod or Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis occurs in the tropical Western Pacific in a depth range from 2 to 40m, usually in 5 to 25m, max. length 70cm. The species feeds on small fishes and crustaceans and inhabits lagoon and seaward reefs and is typically found in dead or silty areas, but also around coral reefs like this specimen and in tide pools. \nThe growth of Cromileptes altivelis is very slow. It is a reclusive and solitary species. \nThis is a specimen in the intermediate phase of about 15 to 20cm length. The undulating swimming style (like juvenile Sweetlips) of the juvenile phase stopped already. \nLembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia\n1°27'21.828 N 125°13'37.884 E at 8m depth$

$Spotted Coralgrouper Plectropomus maculatus occurs in the tropical Western Pacific from Thailand to Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Australia in a depth range from 5 to 100m, max. size 125cm, max. weight 25kg. \nThere are reports of ciguatera, a foodborn illness, caused by bioaccumulation, a very heat-resistant toxicity who cannot be detoxified by conventional cooking. \nThis specimen was resting under a ledge at night. \n\nTriton Bay, Indonesia \n3°43'41.976 S 133°53'39.546 E at 5m depth$

Right at the beginning of the first dive in Nassau, Bahamas, we spotted a bunch of grouper. Coincidentally enough, this one was a Nassau Grouper!
